- what are the implication for society if aggression is found to caused by nature not nurture
- Impulsivity
- ?behavioural trait that people learn to control by experiencing the urges in different social situation
- ?The impulse control mechanism is controlled by actions of prefrontal cortex( a highly evolved part of the brain).
- Hormones
- ?Evidence has found that high levels of testosterone may be linked with behaviour traits
- MAOA gene
- warrior gene
- ?Research shown that people with low activity and expression of the MAOA gene are more likely to react to provocation by showing aggression
- ?these people are also found to have a high level of testosterone.
- Implication
- ?emphasis should be placed on investigating whether aggressive individual have any biological predisposition, focus on helping instead of punishing them.
- ?these biological factors will also change how the society view aggressive behaviour, that aggression might be a form of illness or a symptom of a disorder.
- ?This also suggested that a person can be identified before they show aggressive behaviour
- ?research into this area can help on developing mechanisms to predict aggressive behaviour in some people and prevent it before it occurs.
- Impulsivity
